Lao New Year 2015

April 12, 2015 in Laos

Lao New Year is celebrated on April 12, 2015. Lao New Year, called Pbeemai or Songkan, is celebrated every year from April 13 to April 15. Tourists that plan to travel to Laos during the New Year are advised to be prepared to be soaked. This has an important role in Laotian culture - they are not only wishing a long and healthy life for themselves, they are also wishing the same for others. (With material from: Wikipedia)
